By Lake Windermere in the stunning Lake District are five luxury holiday cottages in the grounds of The Swan Hotel. Known as ‘The Nests’, each enjoys spectacular views across the beautiful surrounding countryside. The largest of the cottages is The Dormouse, which sleeps up to eight people (six adults and two children). Here there are two super king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, plus a children’s bunk room with four single beds. There is also a further family bathroom. Meanwhile, the living quarters consist of the sitting room with log burner and flat screen TV, as well as a fully equipped kitchen/diner with a range cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Outside is the private terrace with an outdoor fireplace. The Hedgehog, The Mallard, and The Owl Nest all have a similar spec, although vary slightly. They also sleep eight people, with two super king-size and en-suite bedrooms. The children’s bunk room has two singles, while there is a further super-king room which can also be set up as a twin if required. Once again there is a sitting room with log burner, kitchen/diner, and private outdoor terrace. In all four cottages guests are greeted by a welcome pack consisting of essentials, including homemade cake and biscuits. Finally there is The Love Nest. This exquisite studio cottage has been designed to be the perfect romantic getaway for two people. It has a super-king bed, while the bathroom has both a roll top bath and a double walk-in shower with a rainforest head. Bright and airy in its design, there is a log burner inside and a private terrace with a fireplace outside. While those staying in the cottages can enjoy absolute privacy, they are also perfectly placed to make use of the hotel and its facilities. For those who don’t fancy cooking, why not book a table at the restaurant and take advantage of the superb menu? Alternatively, food can be delivered right to your door. The hotel also has a swimming pool, hot tub, and a range of spa treatments that are all available to guests at The Nests.

    Tucked away in the Vale of Grasmere, this luxurious holiday home is perfectly located for exploring the beauty and tranquility of the Lake District. You'll have stunning views from every window with spectacular fells in all directions and the River Rothay flowing nearby.

    Cute as they come and with views out to the Scottish border, the Netherby Estate Treehouse is the place to be for a Cumbrian adventure. The River Esk is the soothing backdrop for this elevated luxury cabin that comes with its own hot tub and sits around seven miles from Gretna Green. The treehouse enjoys a secluded spot on the estate, with fields and parkland extending all around. You will immediately appreciate the tranquil atmosphere, with little more than the burble of the river and the baa of nearby sheep to trouble you. The open-plan interior packs in a wood-burner and a cosy corner to curl up with a book or enjoy a meal. A kitchen with modern oven, a sink and all the bits and pieces you will need makes it easy to prepare one, and there’s another space to sit down and dine out on the balcony. A welcome hamper ensures there will be something to get you started on arrival. Netherby Estate Treehouse makes clever use of its space to accommodate up to four guests. You have a double bed in the main living area, and a mezzanine level above has a further two single beds, ideal for children, accessed via a ladder.

The border location gives you the chance to discover beautiful areas of two countries – you’re only 30 miles from Dumfries to the west, and delights of the Solway Coast are closer still. To the north-east, the expansive Kielder Forest will enchant lovers of the outdoor lifestyle, and you’re only 30 minutes from the North Pennines.

Exploring the best of the borders is easy, with the likes of Gretna Green, Carlisle Castle and the Solway Coast not far away. The area is great for all kinds of activities too, from paintballing to flying and 4x4 off-roading… or perhaps you would prefer the simple pleasures of walks in the woods or down by the river. Be sure to drop by the Hidden River Café too, where there is always something tasty being cooked up, whatever the time of day.
